About artex removal in BR4
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people generally contact us about walls before tiling and loft conversions.
Our team wears protective equipment, and keep the room closed while we work.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork

BR4: textured coatings in homes
From Beckenham, Hayes and West Wickham to small villages, homes across BR4 have textured ceilings. Testing comes first, wherever you are.
Hayes: Older homes across Hayes may have coatings added during past renovations. Non-domestic buildings like Hawes Down Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Your questions about Artex removal in BR4
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
